View allMy mom is 60 and has diabetes and high blood pressure. She's been dealing with really bad ear itching and when we saw an ENT specialist, they found holes in both eardrums. One doctor says she needs surgery on the right ear first then the left after 3 months, but another ENT said surgery isn't necessary at all. Really confused about what to do since we have the scan reports but getting conflicting opinions
It's understandable to be confused with conflicting medical opinions. While a perforated eardrum (a hole in the eardrum) can sometimes heal on its own, surgery (tympanoplasty) might be necessary, especially if the perforation doesn't heal within a few months or if it causes significant hearing loss or ear infections. Your mom's diabetes and high blood pressure could also influence the healing process and make it more important to address the perforation properly

I've been dealing with a sore throat since last week, and it was really red. My uvula got swollen, and it felt like it was touching my tongue. Now I'm feeling better, but my uvula still looks bigger than usual, and the tip seems black. Plus, my right tonsil is a bit swollen. Should I be worried about these symptoms?
You may have had a case of acute pharyngitis with uvulitis, and now you are experiencing some residual inflammation. To help reduce the swelling and inflammation, you can try using a throat spray containing benzocaine to numb the area and reduce discomfort. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. Gargling with warm salt water several times a day can also help with the swelling and discomfort. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to see an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because after I cleaned my ear and started using the antibiotic ear drops like I was told, some of the drops ended up in my mouth. Now I'm also feeling this burning sensation deep inside my ear. What should I do about this?
That's common no need to worry follow your doctor advice
